No Bomb Found, But Anonymous Tip Leads to Trespassing Charge Against 22 Year Old in Richmond


Posted on Dec 30, 2009

Richmond police filed a trespassing charge against a man apprehended last night at Bryan Park after police got a tip that he might be headed there with an explosive device.

Anthony Stanley, 22, of the 2200 block of Oakwood Lane in Henrico County, was charged with trespassing because he is accused of being in the park in North Richmond after it closed at sunset, said police spokeswoman Karla E. Peters.

No explosive device was found on Stanley or in the park, Peters said.

Authorities found Stanley shortly before 9 p.m. after a search involving about two dozen officers from three police agencies, police dogs and an airplane.

The incident stemmed from a tip Henrico County police received about 6:15 p.m. stating that a man had said he was planning to blow up something and that he might have a homemade bomb in his pocket, Henrico police said.

County authorities notified city police that the man might be at Bryan Park.

City and Henrico police and state police stationed themselves around Bryan Park and troopers patrolled nearby Interstates 95 and 64.

Stanley was taken into custody after he was found on the park's perimeter
